My imagination is very vivid. I often visualise an orb of light in my head, sometimes it looks more like a 3-dimensional version of a star. I see lots of images when I intend to see images and often I can let them flow very well with minimal effort. I often see dark scenes and nature because...

For what it's worth, your display pic (I assume it's you) reminds me of how I (INFJ) look when I'm in a more INFP-ish mood, e.g. when with my INFP friend. To elaborate: it is because MBTI judges J vs P based on how you interact with the external world, whereas socionics looks at your primary...

It's "for [the sake of] science". Test: to see if a one month ban of Sinny results in INTP forum being great again. Findings will be posted in 3 weeks, no doubt? :P

I have no principles to share, but I like the idea of the thread because I had recently noted that, since my Ti (my tertiary) would by now be very well developed, I should take time to reflect on what Ti means for me - how it colours my behaviour and thinking, and what key things it has taught...

Idk if it's quite your reasoning, but being into art and the likes doesn't make you ISFP or similar to ISFP. Yeah there is a degree of emotional expression in much of art, and certain forms of art can be quite physical, but there's going to be plenty of INTPs into art. I'm not really getting Fi...

So, would examples be altruistic action based on it having been logically justified (Fe/Ti), and committing to a task because it fits what one believes in (Te/Fi)?

Yeah I just had noticed that it seemed similar to what you had written somewhat (apart from Ne), and also I've noticed some Ni dominants with good working memory. For me anyway, when I am allowing information to arise from the subconscious in regards to a particular situation (is this a good...

By Fi I mean for example in staying true to what is important, enjoying oneself on an emotional basis, and gaining an understanding of oneself through reflection. I tend to score roughly equally in Fe and Fi in cognitive functions tests. I would say my Fe is stronger than my Te, my Ni is much...

I see a similarity to the memory systems. Se would be sensory memory and Si would be explicit long term memory. Perhaps Ni is working memory and Ne is long term implicit memory? So Se/Ni types are operating more based on the data at hand, and Ne/Si types are operating based on previous events...

Ok, then yeah I agree that all emotions have value. It's not about cultivating one emotion while lessening the others, but understanding the role each one plays.

Isn't this like saying blue and red are the same colour? I would say that things which are biologically alive have a greater significance in their environment than the dead things, relative to mass. They are more in motion, and the signals in the brain produce a focal point of the environment...

Well, clearly you're quite good at typing people. :P Actually, when I first was questioning my type (INTP was the first type I tested as, which is why I ended up here) I ruled out extroverted types, and feeling/sensing dominant types, leaving me with those 4, however I ruled out INTJ as well...

To give my take on the functions: The Sensing functions are based on the physical environment of the senses Se: direct awareness of physical surroundings, including how strong sensations around are felt and a sense of push and pull from objects in the environment. The Se type has a tendency to...

Hmm, the bit I would like to refer to is where you say that Ne sorts objects into known and unknown. I thought that looking at objects in such a manner would be a sensing function, whereas intuition functions would be looking at patterns, i.e. linking objects together. What were your thoughts...

9w1 - that's what I type as! ^_^ Did you get a feel for my type at all?

i.e. because slippery slope My spiritual approach has nothing to do with any of that.

Yeah I've thought of the possibility of another universe being overlapped with ours but travelling in the opposite direction time-wise, and the interactions between the forward and backwards moving aspects of the universe occur in a sort of probabilistic grey-zone which prevents paradoxical...

For what it's worth, I've taken a particular test 2 times, with a long time in between each take, and I could basically tell what each question referred to (not 100%, but a rough idea) and I took the test once when I thought I was ISTJ (herpderp...) and again thinking I'm INFJ, and the results...

Maybe it's a "proof" then that the past actually isn't infinite? I think time should be able to go both ways, so if you can claim that one shall exist but never be born, then they should also be able to have existed but never been born. I tend to think of the timeline as changing as we move...

...infinity plus one Are there people who once existed but were never born because they existed infinity years ago? Is it just like saying there are some (i.e. infinitely many i.e. almost all) numbers so big they shall never be counted to?

Well, I think I've mentioned several times that I'm mentally ill. It's just the way I see the world - that there is a non-physical aspect which experiences the world, and the experiencer is distinct from the experienced. I see no use in seeing my life as an insignificant speck in an...

There is a difference between the reality which we observe, and the truth of reality. The modifications made on our field of experience - everything we see and know about the world - is temporary, and almost is like a simulation. This simulation is made on the truly subjective, which is still...

Well, I certainly doubt that you've yet to meet another Ti dominant, even INTP. You've probably just yet to identify them as such. I've known plenty of INTPs myself, and even met quite a few Ni dominants. I can somewhat relate to what you're saying about feeling that you approach subject manner...

I think whether it could rightly be termed a shadow function would come down to whether the tertiary does play a significant role in the individual or not. For example, if you are ISTP, but say Ni really is your 3rd strongest function, then calling it a shadow function would be out of place. On...

hail

Well, there are differing opinions on what constitutes the shadow function... The shadow* is that which we identify ourselves as not being, so if your personality goes against Si, then Si would be in the shadow. Of course I am aware that usually the shadow for INTP is the Te Ni Se Fi functions...

Imagine a ball with a 3D camera and a self-programming chip which gathers information from what is happening in the environment and uses this to create a picture of how the world works. Then this data is sent to a robot which will be able to make use of this and continue the programming.

That sounds like development of the tertiary function.

From this video, I think that you are IP and that Si is a shadow function, also leaning towards Ti dominant. So INTP

Yeah I thought maybe OP could take the test and post results, but I forgot that they had already mentioned that they don't take tests any more, since they know what each question is referring to. :facepalm:

Yeah they did. It doesn't work though cos Fe is only 15%. I like the cognitive functions test on CelebrityTypes the best out of them. The keys2cognition one is good but I find the questions can be a bit hard to understand.

I have a crystal ball implanted in my head. I see all things past, present and future - and also, the eternal. Due to being sworn to secrecy however, I am unable to share my visions. And I think this video is certainly relevant (to everything ever)...

LOL!

There's no reason for it to not be possible. Fear is produced by the mind. Many of the feelings associated with being in an actual dream are quite distinct from what would be felt in waking life. It is nonetheless intriguing that you had such a powerful dream; I tend to wake myself up before...

The functions which scored highly are mostly the P-type functions (extroverted perception and introverted judgement) so I'm not sure why it says infj

happy new year! this year I shall be moving out of home and finishing my degree and then probably commencing further studies. the gameplan for now is to quit smoking

From my own experience, I would say that your understanding of Ni is pretty close to actual Ni. If you think it is probably your dominant function, then probably it is a strong function. So I would say that you understand the functions, but given that all functions play a part in our psyche, it...

There is a work from Schopenhauer called "The World as Will and Representation", and even just the title of that book has been very influential in my thinking. So, you are speaking of the representation, which exists in a slightly different way in each mind, and the other aspect is the will...

I think Typology itself is an example of my Ni growing an understanding slowly over time. When I first started, I was tying in the functions to things like Plato's divided line, and I quickly got a decent grasp of the functions, enough to correctly type myself as INFJ after a couple months of...

Mostly spent on chat sites and forums, tbh. And lots of music listening. About the same as now really, shiiit.

Re: 29/12/2017 Forum Drama Resolution There is more than one. You are surrounded and yet to realise. :phear: edit: btw I like how this forum drama occured a year from now :P

Re: 29/12/2017 Forum Drama Resolution Well, there's me. ~~INFJ represent~~

Ok, well then it would be preference in a really innate way. I guess that works. Well, yeah I guess like with velocity, the object has no velocity inherently, that rather is a relativistic measurement. So maybe goodness is no longer good if you change the frame of reference. I'm not quite...

Ok, I see what you mean I think, but how does it then follow that the auxiliary is extroverted if the dominant is introverted? It would mean that for a dominant Feeling attitude, there is a shadow Thinking attitude, and if the first is introverted, then the second is introverted. So if...

Well, what I'm talking about is not preferences per se, it is experience itself. Ok, I should have probably used relative and absolute, and said "only relative if". So only relative means absolute in no way at all, meaning there is no way to even measure it. Actually, it's the opposite of...

Ok, I definitely like the waveform picture. So type could go like T N S F, with a wave form that makes the dominant especially introverted like ,,/''\,,/'' with I at the bottom and E at the top, but could also be other waves, to give other combinations?

I think the reason that I think about things like this, is that I figure if I don't know what I should be doing, then I should be trying to figure out what I should do, and I sorta go from the ground up in doing that by considering the very meaning of 'should', and so identifying primary goals...

Another question then @nanook, do you see the 8 cognitive functions (Ti, etc.) as more important, in a sense, than the 4 functions of N, S, F and T?

I saw you mention about how types are strategies; do you think we employ multiple type strategies in our behaviour? So instead it would be something like 20% INFP 15% INTP 15% ENFP... I consider myself INFJ as a primary type, but with certain other types being a large influence.

Do you think there may me a difference between head > heart > gut > head, such as 548, and head > gut > heart > head, such as 584, that could apply globally? I think my 6 and 9 typings reinforce each other because they are integration/disintegration points of each other. So type 4 may be just...
